Y'OU  will  notice  by  the  map  that  it's  an  easy 
five  short  blocks  from  14th  Street  and  but 
four  from  Sixth  Avenue.  A  14th  Street  car 
with  a  transfer  at  Eighth  Avenue  lands  you  right

distance,  you  see,  of  many  of  the  big  shops, 
offi  ces  and  factories;  accessible  to  all  with  a

lVyT^^  any  and  every  girl  live  at  the  Trowmart 
1VX  Inn  f 

Not  every  girl,  but  almost  every  girl  that 
earns  not  more  than  $10  or  $12  a  week  can. 
This  hotel  was  not  built  to  make  money  for 
the  builder.  It  is  not  merely  a  new  hotel  seeking 
to  fill  its  rooms  with  anybody  who  can  pay.  It 
won't  take  women  not  working  for  their  living. 
It  doesn't  want  a  woman  who  is  earning  so 
much  that  she  can  pick  and  choose  her  home. 
It  is  looking  for  the  self-supporting  girl,  tired 
of  the  tawdry  lodging  room  and  sick  of  the 
miserable  rookery  to  which  her  little  salary  has 
forced  her  to  go. 

But  while  the  hotel  is  not  run  to  make 
money,  it  must  pay  its  own  way.  Neither  is  it  a 
charity — you  must  pay  your  own  way. 

T  ^LOW  much^must  I  pay? 

$4.50  a  week  covers  room,  breakfast  and 
dinner  (at  night)  if  two  girls  sleep  in  one  room,

Trowmart  Inn 


$5  if  you  room  alone.  And  think  what  you  get : 
every  room  is  a  light  room,  almost  every  one  open- 
ing on  to  the  street.  The  hotel,  as  the  map  shows 
you,  is  built  on  the  corner  of  i  2  th  Street,  facing 
Abingdon  Square,  and  runs  the  whole  length  of 
the  block  between  Abingdon  Square  and  Green- 
wich Street.  This  means  open  air,  light,  sun, 
trees,  a  bit  of  green  grass. 

/^\N  each  floor  having  50  rooms  there  are  five 
bathtubs — first  come,  first  served.  Right 
alongside  the  tubs  are  ten  washbasins  with  run- 
ning hot  and  cold  water.  If  water  that  doesn't 
run  unless  you  pour  it,  and  water  that  isn't  hot 
suits  you  just  as  well,  why,  then  your  own  wash- 
stand  with  bowl  and  pitcher  is  in  your  room. 
Every  hotel  has  that,  you  say. 

Here  are  some  of  the  things  every  hotel 
has  not : 

A   SEWING  ROOM  open  to  any  of  you  any 
time,  day  or  night,  with  sewing  machines, 
cutting  tables,  and  a  stove  with  pressing  irons; 
all  you  have  to  provide  is  the  thread,  needle, 
bobbin,  material  and  the  ability  to  sew. 


Trowmart  Inn 


npHERE  is  a  library — not  a  large  one,  but  with 
enough  books  and  magazines  to  keep  you 
busy  for  many  winter  evenings;  and  in  the  large 
parlor  where  there  are  piano  and  pianola,  both 
unlocked — for  use  and  not  for  ornament — you 
can  have  dances  and  games;  and  right  near  the 
large  parlor  are  a  number  of  little  parlors,  where 
your  men  and  women  friends  can  be  with  you 
when  they  choose  and  you  choose. 

'  |  AHE  dining  hall  is  a  roomy  place,  high  ceil- 
inged,  lots  of  light,  seating  250  at  one  time; 
but  you  haven't  got  to  sit  down  all  at  one  time. 
Breakfast  will  be  served  from  6.30  to  8.30; 
dinner  same  hours.  On  Sundays  and  holidays 
a  lunch  will  be  served  for  1 5  cents. 

f  I  AHERE  will  be  a  resident  woman  physician, 

charging  much  less  than  the  ordinary  rates. 
H^HEN  there  is  a  laundry,  also  open  day  and 
night,  with  ironing  facilities,  porcelain  tubs, 
running  hot  and  cold  water,  and  a  steam-heated 
drying  room,  where  clothes  will  dry  almost  while 
you  wait.  All  you  need  to  supply  there  is  the 
soap. 


Trowmart  Inn 


A  RE  there  no  restrictions  then  f 

Yes,  one  or  two.  You  must  be  under 
thirty-five  years  of  age  and  if  you  come  to  live 
you  must  give  references ;  but  if  you  come  for 
a  night — no  matter  at  what  time  of  night — no 
questions  will  be  asked  why  you  come,  from 
whence  you  come.  Room  costs  50  cents.  There 
are  not  many  transient  rooms,  though,  so  you'll 
have  to  take  your  chance  and  you'll  have  to  walk 
to  your  room  if  you  come  after  1 1  o'clock- 
elevators  close  then. 

For  further  information  apply  to  the  management  at 
the  Inn  any  day  or  evening,  including  Sunday,  when  you 
will  be  shown  the  rooms  and  given  all  desired  details.
